Re: Upload bandwidth Probably some actual studies of how in works in practice will be necessary to sort it out, since it depends on human psychology among other imponderables. But I think you are right that some people are going to excessive lengths to ensure that the system is "fair" without defining exactly what that means. It can't be fair all the time for all people; the system has to be asymmetric at some point to get it working at all. It is just a question of how far out of bounds you are going to let users get, and how to track that. |

Suffern, NY | I have a question. What happens to the peer who has no pieces to send to me. Does it get blocked or is it allowed to leach from me? OTOH, I want to block any peer who has pieces I want (and wants pieces I have) who does not unchoke me after I've sent it a piece or two or who leaches at an excessive rate without sending me pieces that it has and I need. I do not mind so much if the excessive speed leacher does not have anything I want/need. |
